Excellent service excellent food every time we go. I ordered the spinach artichoke dip, the pepperoni pizza and a custom pasta plate. Its fresh and crisp ingredients.We got the truffle fries and those were every underwhelming. Joe was an excellent service and had the best up keep to our table. Easy to talk to and got us everything we asked for.

Great food. Good pricing. Understaffed and our waiter was less attentive than we would have liked. Hardly checked up on us. My ex-wife had to go get our waiter so I could pay for the meal. We waited more than 5 minutes to get our refills. Other staff saw we needed help and no one took the time to check on what we needed. Not what we would expect from a restaurant like this.

It’s a nice environment, they have paper covering some of the tables which I assume can be used as entertainment for kids to color. Food is pricey, my family didn’t like their food, I got the fettuccine Alfredo and personally liked mine a lot, it depends what you get. Don’t go here with high expectations for the servers, they’re chill and very kind and helpful, they do their job and get it all done so please don’t give little tips just because they don’t reach your expectations.

Very nice omniscient. Wait staff was very efficient.One of the few places that I visited since October that was still following Covid protocol in Mar.Food was very tasty and well prepared. Enough for a second meal. Bread and oil was ok but the roasted Brussels sprouts were absolutely the best. Desert was very good and large.

Food is delicious and service is awesome. Did not notice simple, good old mac & cheese on the menu, but the Mac & cheese bites are super tasty, specially dipped in the sauce they come with. Service is supposed to start with garlic butter bread, which most times never arrives.

Tonight I could have had one of the best meals I have ever had in my life and I am old! (Lamb chops and vegetables). Additionally, what made it even more special was the service. I was by myself and I really felt like I was a special guest in someone’s home. CLARE took such good care of me and everyone I interacted with was so attentive and kind. I come to McAllen for work once a month and every time it has been really great!

Ordered Seafood pasta and got a tomato soup with little pasta and seafood instead. Not a great experience with the food or the service.

Went on a Sunday night, after not being their in years. The floor and hanging lights had visible dirt. The food was not what we expected at all. Ordered two adult meals and a child’s spaghetti with meatballs. My food was so spicy I couldn’t eat it. Had some of my husbands food and nothing tasted right. The waiter was ok except he added and extra plate and forgot to bring us our receipt twice ended up getting helped by someone else. I would not recommend this place it is over priced and dirty.

Took my Mom out for her bday & we had the best time! She had the lasagna & I had the fettuccine Alfredo (no chicken or shrimp). The dishes were immaculate & so was the service! My Mom had a sangria, which she loved & I had the frosé and would rate it a 10/10. Ben was our server & he was phenomenal!

Enjoyed this decadent chocolate dessert, Claire the bartender recommended it. She knew what she was talking about. Highly recommend it.
